Eating Red Meat May Increase The Risk Of Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Hello,

" A chronic inflammatory disease of the immune system, rheumatoid

arthritis (RA) has been linked to a combination of genetic and

environmental factors. Aspects of lifestyle may explain as much as 40

percent of the risk. Cigarette smoking has consistently been found to

play a role in RA's development. The role of nutritional factors is

less certain. Studies have suggested the protective benefits of eating

fish, the dangers of drinking coffee, and a reduction in disease risk

for women who enjoy alcohol in moderation. Such associations, however,

are still wide open to debate and further research. "

Note the following, " Studies have suggested the protective benefits of

eating fish " ....

Wife's arthritis is in complete " remission " (if that's the right

word). Been eating at least some salmon or sardines every day. Says

one of her fellow workers is really suffering due to the current rainy

weather but she is having absolutely no problems whatsoever.
